"Love Love Love" is a song by Swedish singer Agnes and was her entrant in Sweden's Eurovision Song Contest selection process Melodifestivalen. After proceeding to the final from the fourth semi-final, the song placed eighth out of the eleven entries. "Love Love Love" is written by Anders Hansson and was released as a one track CD single by Roxy Recordings, in addition to being included on the "Love Love Love Edition" of Agnes' 2008 album Dance Love Pop and serving as the album's third single.
Agnes began her musical career in 2005 when she won Idol 2005, a Swedish singing competition based on the British show Pop Idol. She subsequently released three studio albums and attempted to take part in Melodifestivalen 2007, the Swedish selection process for the Eurovision Song Contest. Details of her participation were leaked, a violation of contest rules, and she was disqualified.
On October 14, 2008, two years after her first attempt, it was announced that Agnes was to take part in Melodifestivalen 2009 with the disco pop song "Love Love Love". The song is written by Anders Hansson, who also wrote Agnes' third studio album Dance Love Pop from which the song is a bonus track on the re-release. At first, it was said that the song was to be performed as a duet with fellow Swedish pop singer Marie Serneholt, but it did not materialize, as Serneholt decided to compete in the contest on her own.
Agnes appeared at the fourth semi-final of the contest, held on February 28, 2009 at the Malmö Arena and competed against seven other entrants. Agnes presented "Love Love Love" first on the night, and for her performance, she appeared on stage in an "eye-catching" gold sequined skin-tight outfit and was alone at first in front of a skyscraper backdrop before being joined by six dancers. The song made the top four and was selected to duel against the Star Pilots' "Higher", with one song going to the final and the other to the "Second Chance" round. "Love Love Love" received 66,740 televotes versus the Star Pilots' 54,785, winning the duel and gaining a spot in the final.
